"Kid, you have a call!" Mega Man called.

Kid Icarus was in the living room, watching TV. The opening credits to "The Wombatman Adventure Hour" were being displayed on the screen. Kid Icarus turned the TV off and flew into the Communications room.

"Hey, Kid!" the person on the other end replied.

"Wombatman!" Kid Icarus exclaimed. "It's been yearsicus!"

Wombatman nodded, then smiled. "Listen, Kid, the script writers are working on a movie, and they'd kinda like to know if you wanna guest-star as my sidekick."

Kid Icarus smiled. "Are you kidding? I'd love to-icus!"

"Figured you would." Wombatman replied. "See you at noon. Got it?"

Kid Icarus nodded. Wombatman's image disappeared.

"Mega cool!" Mega Man exclaimed. "We've gotta tell the others!"

Kid Icarus nodded, and the two ran out of the room.

"Cool!" Kevin exclaimed when Mega Man told him and the rest of the N Team the news.

"Of course-icus!" Kid Icarus said to his favorite TV hero. "Do you think I'd miss an event like thisicus?"

"Come on." Wombatman said. "We have a lot to talk about."

The two of them walked into the studio together.

"Haven't been here in a while." Kevin said, looking around. He, Lana, Simon, Rick, and Mega Man stood by a tour bus, where the warp had taken them.

"Where's Kid Icarus?" Lana asked.

"Over there!" Rick pointed to a spot a few yards to the group's left.

"Hey, Kid!" Mega Man shouted.

Kid Icarus looked in his direction and smiled, as did Wombatman. Kevin, Lana, Simon, Rick, and Mega Man ran over to Kid Icarus and Wombatman.

"Didn't expect your friends to be here." Wombatman said, then shrugged. "Well, come on, everyone. Maybe we can find parts for you, too. We need some bad guys as well."

"So that rodent is making a movie?" Wily watched what was going on from a viewscreen in his lab. He laughed evilly. "Maybe it's time he had some real action!"

Three of Wily's newest creations entered the lab. The first was blue and wore what looked like an astronaut's suit. He had cannons on both his arms, which shot blasts cold enough to freeze any target. The second was brown and resembled a caterpillar. He could make anything out of wood. The third looked like a giant chicken. He was white with a red comb. He carried a gun that shot out eggs.

"Mr. Chill, Wiggler, Yoker." Wily addressed the three robots. "The N Team is guest-starring in a movie. This is the perfect opportunity to test your skills against live opponents." Wily wheezed. "That rodent is looking for some villains for his movie as we speak."

"So you want us to go down there, play the parts of the villians, and, when the time is right, smash the N Team, right?" Mr. Chill asked.

Wily nodded.

"No sweat." Wiggler said. "This'll be fun!"

Wily opened a warp a safe distance away from the studio, and his robots jumped through. Wily watched the viewscreen.

Wiggler grabbed a nearby log and chewed it into a gun. He pulled the trigger. A yellow beam shot out and hit Wombatman full in the chest. He flew backwards a few feet before crashing into a wall.

"Hey, zat eez not in ze script!" the director yelled. "But I like it. Continue."

"Wombatman!" Kid Icarus flew over to Wombatman.

"Kid?" Wombatman asked. "Call me back when there's only one of you."

"Hey, where'd Wiggler, Yoker, and Mr. Chill go?" Rick asked.

"I smell trouble." Kevin said.

"Me, too." Lana added. "We'd better contact the rest of the N Team."

"You guys have a problem over there?" Romeo asked. He was talking to Lana through the viewscreen in the Communications room.

"Three of Wily's robots are attacking Studio World!" Lana yelled.

The viewscreen image changed to show Wiggler, Mr. Chill, and Yoker destroying everything in sight. Then it switched back to Lana's image.

"I'll get the others." Romeo said. "We'll be there as soon as possible."

Lana nodded and turned to the rest of the N Team and Wombatman. "As usual, Wily's behind this. Mr. Chill, Wiggler, and Yoker are his creations. They're running around destroying everything in sight."

"Surprise, surprise." Simon said.

"Why are we all just standing here?" Kevin asked.

"We'll split into groups." Lana said. "Each group will attack a different robot. Simon and Rick will go against Yoker. Kid, you and Mega Man will take on Wiggler. Kevin and I will confront Mr. Chill."

"What about me?" Wombatman asked.

"This is a real battle we're fighting." Kevin replied. "You could get hurt."

"I came to your rescue one time, remember?" Wombatman asked. "Believe me, I can handle this."

Lana nodded. "Wombatman, you go with Kid and Mega Man."

Wombatman nodded.

"I'm helping, too." Nikki walked up to the surprised group.

"Nikki, it's too dangerous." Wombatman said.

"I'm not a baby. I can take care of myself." Nikki said. She grabbed the wooden gun Wiggler had left behind and fired at the mark left behind from Wiggler's shot. She hit the mark perfectly. "I've been practicing since you and Kid Icarus rescued me from Mother Brain. I know I can be of a little help at least."

"Well," Kevin thought for a moment, "...we could use a little more help."

Wiggler was only a short distance away. He had carved a wooden gun that looked similar to Rick's Super Scope cannon and was blasting everything in sight. The robot caterpillar saw the group and approached them.

"It's about time you showed up." Wiggler said. "I've been looking for some action! Do you know how boring it is destroying inanimate objects?" He fired at the group.

"You need target practice." Nikki said, aiming the gun Wiggler had dropped in the studio at the robot caterpillar.

Mega Man aimed his Mega Buster at the same point Nikki aimed at.

Kid Icarus shot a buzzsaw arrow at the spot the first two were aiming. The arrow cut a perfect circle on Wiggler's right side, exposing the wires and circuits under where the metal "skin" used to be.

Mega Man and Nikki fired their weapons at the spot Kid Icarus' arrow had cut away. The shots hit their target, causing Wiggler to explode.
